Wage Peace

Founded in 2017 and with participants from across Australia and into West Papua, Aotearoa, Indonesia and the Pacific, Wage Peace supports antimilitarist initiatives, especially civil resistance and direct action. We target the weapons business. We jump on tanks, blockade weapons factories, occupy arms dealers’ offices, and reclaim military bases, as well as engaging in public discourse and other more conventional campaigning.
